What is this opportunity?

Cefas' laser sizer has reached the end of its useful lifespan. Replacement parts are no longer being manufactured and are becoming increasingly difficult to source. The equipment measures the fine sediment fraction, which is essential for particle size analysis. This analysis is used across most Sedimentology projects, and the resulting data supports several other areas of work within Cefas, externally and internationally. Scope of Requirements: Cefas requires the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of a laser diffraction particle size analyser and an image-based particle shape analyser, both using wet dispersion, together with all software and licences needed for operation and data processing, all essential accessories and components, and user and routine-maintenance training. Cefas will provide the PC and monitor required to operate the instrument(s). 1. Technical Requirement 1.1 The laser Diffraction measurement range must extend from 0.2µm or smaller to 2mm or greater. Suppliers must submit test results generated using the proposed equipment to demonstrate its measurement capability. The test may be carried out using either a sample provided by Cefas, available on
